Love's Lonely Pursuits

By Marina Sonkina

These are moving tales of love, longing and Redemption told by people from all walks of life: a Chilean expat returning to Chile after 25 years only to confront the secret he hoped would be

forgotten; a widower who is reinvigorated by conversations with a five-year-old; a Vietnam War draft evader who seeks meaning in traditional First Nations stories; a writer who tries to transform unrequited love into art.

This collection of stories includes the novella that takes a reader on a different path. The tragedy of Cassandra, the prophetess of Greek mythology, whose predictions nobody believed, is now playing out in opulent post-Gorbachev Moscow. Caught under the wheel of history that crushes people's private lives and loves, the heroine of the story refuses to live in fear.
